Well, it's been eleven days and things are beginning to look up. I had a few rough days at the beginning of the week and I got real down. I was having a tough time swallowing. But that is better now. Am getting my water and protein now without probl…

I think gas is pretty normal. Also it will take a while before you have normal bowel movements. When you can eat regular food, make sure you get lots of whole grains in your diet. In just a couple of months you're going to feel so amazing and better!

Well, it looks like everything went ok with the surgery.Came home the same day. Still very sore, but I can put up with some minor pain because I know it's only temporary, and it's one of those things I have to endure in order to get well (weight wis…

11 days since surgery

Well, it's been eleven days and things are beginning to look up. I had a few rough days at the beginning of the week and I got real down. I was having a tough time swallowing. But that is better now. Am getting my water and protein now without problem. My doctor said that because he had to repair a hiatal hernia at the time he put the band in, it would be a little sore. That has passed and I'm feeling much better. I was very weak and tired Sun-Tue. and got upset wondering if I had made a mistake… Continue

Gas attack

I wonder if others find it common to have a lot of gas in the days following surgery. I know I sure have. And for all the gas, I've not had a bowel movement. Of course, the thing that comes to my mind is, what could there be in there to come out? Right? I mean, for two whole days before the surgery I had nothing but clear liquids (broth, sugar free popsicles, etc.) and since I've only had liquid protein drinks. Still, I would feel a little more normal if I could just have at least a little movem… Continue

Still on protein liquid phase

Today is day 2 of the liquid phase of my diet since surgery. I'll be glad when I can start on blended food and get back to eating a little something solid. I'm finding that the EAS protein drinks are pretty good. I've tried the strawberry, dark chocolate and the vanilla. I like the vanilla best. I had some of the powder last night for dinner (Syntrax Nectar naturals - whey protein isolate). I mixed it with some orange flavored crystal light and it was ok - it reminded me of a mixture of honey an… Continue

Recovering from surgery

Well, it looks like everything went ok with the surgery.Came home the same day. Still very sore, but I can put up with some minor pain because I know it's only temporary, and it's one of those things I have to endure in order to get well (weight wise).

I survived 3 days of clear liquids...now I am on the full liquid diet. Yummy. For breakfast I am having a rich dark chocolate protein shake (EAS AdvantEDGE). I've heard others talk abut how they didn't like the shakes. I think it tastes pretty go… Continue
